Dear Fellow Ray Tracers:
I have started a mailing list group to discuss the formation of new book on
POV Ray. If you are interested in joining the discussion please email me at
mit### [at] dnai com.

BTW You can join this group if you just want to monitor our progress and
give advice on where we are headed with the book project.

May I suggest that this sort of project would benefit from a
threaded discussion forum (e.g. news group), and would also
be available to more people if it were conducted on a news
group ?
If enough users in povray.general indicate they think this
would be beneficial, I would be prepared to create a new news
group on this server dedicated to the topic of POV-Ray books
(and perhaps also one for documentation in general).
If I did that, you would be welcome to use it instead of a
mailing list.

I think the idea of having a group dedicated to documentation / tutorials
(writing, not requesting) / books, etc is excellent. I don't know how much
I would contribute personally, but I think it would be a valuable resource.

I vote for both.

That's an excellent idea, IMHO.

Good idea IMO, but i think one group for both together would be
sufficient.

Mailing lists are threaded. Perhaps you're just using software that
doesn't display mail threading.

I like the idea of a newsgroup devoted to books and documentation. My list
is a private list for people working on our specific title so I see a need
for both.

Most mail clients I have used fail to make use of those headers that
facilitate threading in mail messages. Whereas threading in news
readers is almost universal (though sometimes not as well done as it
could be).
Therefore, for all intents and purposes, my comment about mailing lists
not being threaded is true (at least for a good proportion of readers).

Having said these things I think the case for a news group for any project
is a good idea. People don't get bothered with the emails when they havn't
got time to keep up, anyone can dip in and help out when they've got the
time as all the previous discussions are there on the server in an easy to
access form, you don't have the subscription overheads like "I've changed
my email address and re subscribed so now I'm getting every message twice",
etc.

Chris when do you plan to implement the new Book and Documentation
newsgroup?

I just created them - povray.documentation.books is the one you'd want.

It might be a good idea to post an announcement and purpose description in
p.a.f-a-q. 'p.d.inbuilt' seems a bit unnecessary to me, 'p.d.custom'
could be more useful, but maybe just having 'p.d.general' for both
together would be enough.
